Russia wasbanned this week from the 2018 Winter Games; will the US ban itself? UN Ambassador Nikki Haley on Wednesday called Team USA's participation in the Games an "open question" in an interview with Fox News.

TheWashington Postreports that the Games will take place in South Korea, roughly 50 miles from the DMZ, and with tensions high on the Korean Peninsula, Haley was asked if it was a "done deal" that the US would attend.

Her reply in full, per CNN: "There's an open question. I have not heard anything about that, but I do know in the talks that we have—whether it's Jerusalem or North Korea—it's about, how do we protect the US citizens in the area?"
